Following 2016 potential draftees

[Dr. Jones]

Kentucky finally lets one of their white guys take some time off from riding the pine and look what happens.

[Coach Ellis]

I know he's so small it's tough to project success in the NBA, but Ulis is such a badass he's worthy of mention.

Of point guards Calipari has had at UK;

Wall
Bledsoe
Knight
Teague
Harrison
Harrow
Ulis
...

Ulis leads them all statistically.
#1 in PPG
#1 in FGM
#1 FG% (49)
#1 assists (by 2.5/gm)
#1 lowest turnovers (.9/gm)
#2 in 3pt made (Knight is #1)

And by far the best vocal leader/most cerebral player.

I like Ulis, but have concerns about his ability to defend in the NBA. I'd love him as a 2nd round pick. Think he's a guy who could fill Trey Burke's bench role well once Exum returns healthy.

He's an incredible leader, doesn't turn the ball over, shoots it well, but is very small. I think he will go mid-2nd round.. maybe late. I'd take him around 45 and take the chance. At the worst you've got a fantastic practice guy, 3rd string PG, that will be an extension of the head coach every second of the day.

He was national player of the week last week.
In two games he had;
42pts
20asts
1TO (20:1)

He should have gone to St. Mary's if he wanted to play.

Skal now #14 on DX's latest mock draft. ...

What do you guys think about Wade Baldwin? Looks like a George Hill type player to me? Could be a good backup insurance for Exum?

Now Kentucky/St. Marys would be an awesome first round game.

If St Marys runs the table they may actually get a pretty high seed. Of course BYU fans are hoping for the upset in the conference tournament so they can get in.

I like Baldwin. Solid kid to consider. Wherever the Jazz pick, I just want the absolute best player to be picked. I don't care about positional value at all. Put talent in the room and then let competition sort out all the details.

DX has him at around #19 which is right around where the Jazz could be picking. He can also play SG at times as he's big enough to defend that position and hit the occasional 3. I like the pick.

When are Conference tournaments starting? It's almost March.
